“New Students Ton: Pat Hutchins, promising freshman linebacker from Swartz Creek, Michigan, goes high to block a field goal attempt in the Missouri game. BOTTOM: Julio Meade from New York, and Roger Kathol from Wichita, both nationally ranked high school tracksters. A strong, fast backfield highlights the freshman football squad this year. At the Quarterback position Wichita ' s John Mosier and Bartlesville, Okla- homa ' s Jim Ettinger are described by their coaches as having " lots of potential. " Emery Hicks, linebacker from Nowata, Oklahoma, and punter and kicker Bill Be ll from Falls Church, Virginia, give added strength to the speedy backfield. Tackle Frank Kozicky of Godfrey, Illinois, guard Dan Cott of Wichita, and Atchinson end Larry Vanek are expected to form the core of KU ' s big line in years to come. The freshman basketball team, under the direction of Coach Robert Mul- cahy, is looking forward to a fine season lead by four standouts from Illinois. Richard Bradshaw, a 6 ' 3 " high school All-State, All-American for- ward from Chicago, heads a team that Coach Mulcahy says has " definitely fine prospects. " The tallest of the cagers is Jim Hoffman, a 6 ' 7 " center from Chicago. Chester Lawrence, a 6 ' 4 " guard from Vienna, and Carl Janis, a 6 ' 1 " guard from Chicago, complete Coach Mulcahy ' s list of standouts. Speed is the best word to describe this year ' s freshman track squad. Speediest of the speedy is Glen Cunningham, who, like his famous father, set high school records by gaining the Kansas mile championship. Another speed demon is Julio Meade of New York, first in the nation in the quarter mile. New York ' s Mark Ferrel was one of the nation ' s top high school half- milers, while Roger Kathol was the Kansas ha lf-mile champion. Dashers Randy Julian of Bolsa Grande, California, and J. W. Johnson of Wichita round out the team of freshman tracksters. —Bob Butler Freshman , / \ I ' 7 _I 11 ”
